Mad Hatter's Bookshelf & Book Review routinely receives books from Publishers and Authors for review consideration. When in doubt assume the book comes from a Publisher or if you follow my New Procurement posts I usually describe the source of said book. I still buy a lot of books as well.

Joe Abercrombie is going to be with us for quite a bit longer as is his First Law world. Joe just reported on his blog:

Therefore stand amazed as I announce that I last year signed a contract with my doughty UK publisher, Gollancz, for four more books set in the world of The First Law. That’s right. FOUR MORE BOOKS. Twice two.

The plan at the moment is for one more standalone ala the style of Best Served Cold and The Heroes followed by a new trilogy although this is subject to change. His next book after The Heroes probably won't come out until the middle of 2012 so we have a bit to wait. The most likely culprit for the next standalone that Abercrombie has been alluding to for the past year or so.
